Method 1: Using the BIOS

To access the BIOS and view the service processor (SP) IP address:

1.Power on the server (or restart the server if it is running). See “Applying Power for the First Time” on page 41.

2.When the Sun Microsystems splash screen or text prompt appears during the Power on self-test (POST) operation, press F2 to access the BIOS settings.

3.Navigate to the Server tab, using the left and right keyboard arrows.

4.Access the Server tab and AST2000 (LAN)CONFIGURATION. Press Enter.

5.Access the IP ADDRESS tab.

6.View the SP IP address.

Tip – If the IP address is in the form of 192.168.xxx.xxx, the DHCP server might not have assigned an address and the SP might use a static address.

7.Highlight the existing IP address and type the new IP address.

8.Change the IP address mode from DHCP to static.

9.Save and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
